"This book brings fresh light to previously marginalized subject in
German history. It is an original approach, up-to-date written
without scholarly jargon, easily accessible to students, both at
undergraduate and graduate. It is highly focused departing from the
usual "histories" of a single country arguing for the "two German
states", and the three political systems."- Prof. Dr. Laszlo Kurti,
Institute of Applied Social Sciences, University of Miskolc,
Hungary This book contrasts three very different incarnations of
Germany - the totalitarian Third Reich, the communist German
Democratic Republic, and the democratic Federal Republic of Germany
up to 1990 - in terms of their experiences with and responses to
nonconformity, dissent, opposition, and resistance and the role
played by those factors in each case. Although even innocent
nonconformity came with a price in all three systems and in the
post-war occupation zones, the price was the highest in Nazi
Germany. . It is worth stressing that what qualifies as
nonconformity and dissent depends on the social and political
context and, thus, changes over time. Like those in active dissent,
opposition, or resistance, nonconformists are rebels (whether they
are conscious of it or not), and have repeatedly played a role in
pushing for change, whether through reform of legislation,
transformation of the public's attitudes, or even regime change.
